Hello,
This is my first post. I have just begun to code with python. My goal is to convert about a dozen or
so DOS/Windows batch scripts(.bat) and vbscripts(.vbs) that I use on a day-to-day basis to python so
that they can be run on either my windows or linux workstations.
The first things that I want to learn is how to do basic stuff like copying, moving, and deleting
files around from folder to folder. I have been in the help section of python (copyfile section)
but I do not understand what I am doing wrong.
Here is my simple DOS batch file...
######################################################################
copy D:\PDF_Holding\*PRODUCTION.pdf Z:\
copy D:\PDF_Holding\*ILLUSTRATION.pdf H:\MARKETING\ILLUSTRATIONS\PRODUCT
pause
del *.pdf
######################################################################
Basically, it copies the "production" and "illustration" pdf files to certain folders than deletes
the left over pdf files when done. Yes, I could move them instead of copying them.
I'm no asking for anyone to write this for me but if someone could lead me i the right direction, I
would be grateful.
Thank-you.
Mark
